Project Deliverable 2: Business Requirements

Project Deliverable 2: Business Requirements

This
assignment consists of two (2) sections: a business requirements
document and a project plan. You must submit both sections as separate
files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name
according to the section of the assignment it is written for.
Additionally, you may create and / or assume all necessary assumptions
needed for the completion of this assignment.

Documenting the
existing IT network and system is an important first step, but you, the
CIO, know that capturing the needed changes can be critical to your
success as an executive. You know that procuring and documenting quality
business requirements is an important step toward the design of quality
information systems. Completion of a quality requirements document
allows user needs and expectations to be captured, so that
infrastructure and information systems can be designed properly. Using
the requirements document provided in the course shell as a part of the
requirements gathering process, you are to assess the needs of the
company as it prepares to become a multinational organization. You must
consider current and future trends and requirements; however,
assumptions should be realistic and carefully considered. The needs of
the organization should be documented. Later deliverables will focus on
specifics of all requirements.
